Yer I've still got that data issue man its really annoying coz I love this kernel. Has anyone tried a fresh install like delete/wipe everything nd see if that fixed it
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^ yup. Still data poos out for me. Miss my kernel. Wwaaaaahhhhh!
[HTC Aria Android Development] madsnake53:
also wondering would this work on the htc wildfire?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Same issues here. :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
this incorporates some fixes from arco's msm7225 kernel, which is what the wildfire uses..

still no issues here using nightly from 10-9-11
[HTC Aria Android Development] Divino:
You're the only one! ;-)

This could be the problem? http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,10076

(and maybe solve it)

[HTC Aria Android Development] madsnake53:
still have issues here will try lates nightly soon
[HTC Aria Android Development] mbudden:
Strange. Been having some issues with data on the stock kernel as well. But it's not as prevelent as it was with your kernel. Strange... if it's not the kernel, could it be something within CM7?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dirtsky:
very nice. gonna flash it to my girlfriends phone tonight.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!haha. My Aria is just as bad, with a completely cracked screen but it still works!(2nd time.lol)But thanks to all developers who spent time working on this phone here, i can still mess(flash kernels/Ocing limits,roms,themes,etc.) with this one without worrying about breaking it. Its a good little phone too.:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Just out of curiosity...what's the difference in the 8.9.1 and 8.9.2a? Keep'n it alive! Does anybody even rock the 8.9.2a?
[HTC Aria Android Development] kabell4:
I've been rockin' it for a week without issue.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
I've been rockin' it since the day DC released it....no issues here!

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I still don't know the difference between smartass and smartass 2

P.S. DC, if you happen to release an updated kernel, do you think you could include 825mhz as an option please? I know that some phones have issues going that high, however mine has always been able to handle it without any issue:D
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Sweet.thanks, good to know. that's a good question about the smartass. I never knew the difference.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ian_ajah:
thankz brother..

this post very usefull..

but i don't know yet what is the advantages or updating the kernel..

can u tell me know about that?

i using cyanogen Mod 2.3.7
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
the kernel in a asop rom

Hi. I try the kernel in asop rom. . The evervol rom. My phone has never been faster thaks. The wi fi is just amazing, and thanks I don't have any of the issues I had before..
[HTC Aria Android Development] visceralpsyche:
Just a quick update to say that 8.9.2a is working fine with the new 20120226 CM7 nightly build.

Cheers!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Hi drowningchild. I was wondering if maybe you can add smartassV2 that's in munjeni's kernel. The freq. In it is great and actually sleeps!! Been watching it fir several days now. The smartass2 in your kernel doesn't work that great. If skips allot of freq. Jumps from 400 to 806. And most the time it doesn't sleep. That would pretty much be the coolest thing ever if u did that....pretty please. Thxs
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Have you tried 245-806 Interactive on kernel version 8-9-1? That is what I use and have no problems. Battery life is great and everything is very snappy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Yes rocking it now with v6. Its that setcpu stinks on off screen profile. So I try using smartass without an app to TRY to help phone sleep and its not working as it should. But this new smartassv2 I tried is amazing! So would like put in his kernel. just a thought..... :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
smartass2 in this kernel should be the same just different scaling values, you can change the values in /sys/devices/system/cpu/... just need root perms to do it, havent tested with the new setcpu but that should look there also(sees the newer values in the newer version of interactive)

and the device not going to sleep is usually due to apps forcing it not to sleep, eg sync

profiles will never help with battery from my experience, just causes lock ups(with powersave gov) and a pointless slow wakeup

ive been toying trying to get a whole rebase out but the gpu part of the kernel, no matter what i do, revert, new etc, blows up in my face :'(

[HTC Aria Android Development] Syavick:
Btw if you have data problem - simply reconnect to your carrier network. You can do it from wireless settings, choose 'automatic' when choosing networks. After it will reconnect and data will appear. No reboot needed. Also you can do it with turning on and off airplane mode.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pjd2011:
Does this allow for custom undervolting? Is anyone working on an ICS branch? Thanks guys!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
No, this kernel does not allow undervolting.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Don't need to wipe anything? Just install zip from sd card?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
I assume you're already on CM7... if so, you can wipe caches if you want but i don't think its necessary.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
if you have cm7 just use the update.zip not the rom i need to update the rom to the latest nightly
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Sounds good thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Am I correct in assuming that if I'm using CM7 nightlies with DT a2sd, the correct flash order to add this kernel is;

Nightly

Kernel

DT a2sd

And, that this kernel supports both swap AND compcache?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Well, I figured that out for myself, the hard way.

If you want it to boot, the order is;

Nightly

DT a2sd

Kernel
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Good to know...i would have tried it the way you initially did as well. Using s2e at the moment but thinking about going back to dt.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jpope:
Anyone using this on RC2? I tried kernel3 and was getting random lockups...

Gonna try kernel4 and see how it goes. ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I'm running kernel4 with nightly-14 and DT a2sd with apps & dalvik on an ext3. It's working great.

:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] FtaWolf:
Its doing fine here also. Been running here since yesterday morning. CPU OC 787 Ondemand.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Swap partition/files dont create lag ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
If you're asking me, Although I have created a swap partition, I'm not running swap or compcache at this time. I just have Apps and Dalvik moved to a 1GB ext3 partition on the sd card.

As an FYI for those that don't know, moving Dalvik to the ext can free up about as much space in the internal memory as moving your apps does. In my case moving Apps freed ~65MB and moving Dalvik freed another ~60MB.

There's been no performance hit after moving, but I am running a (overkill) class 10 SD card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Can't wait to get my new SD card so that I can set it up like that.

"the only good bug is a dead bug"
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i dont understand what all that free internal memory is used for lol :P

i have a class 4 (speed tests read it as 6) and having a swap partition or file really creates lag(especially when screen is off) with only about 15mb used on the partition, not changing swappiness.

Compcache has minimal performace hit for me as anything over 10% i start to notice a bit of lag,even worse when i have both enabled

anyone using 4-1 notice any difference in performance at all from previous releases?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
It lets me sleep better at night knowing I can install any and everything under the sun, without worrying about running out of memory. LOL

:D

Edit: Can't help you with comparing your different kernels, as I waited for RC2 and your kernel4 before trying it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
any difference than with stock kernel?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I've been running your kernel3 over nightly 13 for a couple days now. No significant issues, but reference your above concern, it does seem to ramp up frequencies a little slower than the stock (though keep in mind I have not run stock 13, my last stock experience was 11), when governor and min/max are set the same, with the same widgets, etc. It is mostly noticeable when sliding between homescreens...just a slight bit of lag, that I don't remember noticing on 11 stock.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
compcache enabled?

also try kernel 4-1 on the OP
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Sorry: Compcache disabled, no swap, apps on ext via s2e, dalvik on /data on device. Hmmm, now that I think about it, this is my first run with s2e as well, perhaps that is the culprit instead (though I was running DT a2sd prior).

Will upgrade to 4-1 when I get a chance, hopefully today - will advise.

Edit: found a minute and got 4-1 flashed over my preexisting setup (did not clear any caches, straight flash from cwm). Initial impression is that the performance is close enough to stock CM7 that if there is a difference I can't see it. Definite improvement over 3. I am currently running 320/768 interactive, no compcache, no swap, dalvik on device /data, apps to ext3 via s2e.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I flashed nightly 14 and your kernel 4-1 last night and I didn't notice any real discernible difference in speed/performance with that combo vs RC2 alone.

Today however, for the first time since going to CM7 in January, I had the phone completely lock up on me twice, and it required a battery pull and reboot to recover.

What makes this a bit unusual, is that all data and sync was shut off on the phone. The phone was holstered with no active phone call traffic, but was being used to stream mp3 tunes via bluetooth to my motorcycle helmet. Now, I'm sure you can understand that at 80mph on a motorcycle, it's a bit difficult to try and diagnose a phone problem. ;)

Since it happened more than once, I have to assume that something is not playing nice together, so my next step tonight will be to clear cache & dalvik and re-flash 14 without the custom kernel. I'm not saying it's your kernel that's causing the problem, but that's the first logical step backwards to eliminate possibilities. And FYI, I was running 400-806 Interactive at the time, while previous to your kernel I was using 400-806 On Demand.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FtaWolf:
The 806 is problem.. Drop back to 787 I'd say your problem will go away..
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I don't think so, I've been running the phone with BT streaming like this for months using 400-806 without any problems. The only change here was the Custom kernel and switching from On Demand to Interactive.

Update: removed custom kernel and been streaming music via bluetooth for 12 hours now without any problems, using exact same phone config as I had when the problems occurred. I'll probably leave the phone in this config for a few days for longer term testing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I actually think he may be on to something there. I can also run 806 on the stock kernel no problem. But on this kernel i was clocked at 320/600 for a few days and had no problems. But when i set it to320/806 I started getting random reboots. I have since been running 320/787 and havent had any issues. Again, 806 didnt give me any issues on the stock kernel, only on this kernel. Which isnt a big deal, I use it for its different lower values, which seem to make a much bigger difference on performance to me than overclocking the max setting.
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
me too. I was on 245/806 interactive and when I loaded the kernel, the phone was much slower. The screen off animation was so slow.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
OK, that makes sense, knowing that it's a case of this Custom kernel not playing as well with 806. I had assumed that the ability to handle 806 was more a function of hardware than software.

Are you saying that you find this kernel at 320-787 more responsive than the stock CM7 kernel at say 400-806?

Thanks

edit: when I'm running BT streaming the phone never drops below 400, so having lower clock settings is kind of irrelevant for me. When I'm not running BT, the phone is usually plugged in so battery drain isn't an issue and lower clock speed is also not important.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
no, 400/xxx will be more responsive than 320/xxx. The max setting really only affects things that are cpu intensive like games. Its the min setting that really helps because the higher you set that the less the cpu has to scale to reach its max speed so there is less delay with inputs and opening apps, etc. I use 320 as my min because Im only able to charge my phone at night so its a nice balance between battery and performance. If battery drain isnt a factor for you then the higher you set the min the better you're phone is going to respond. Just beware of temperature as you raise your minimum cpu speed as the higher you go with speeds the higher your temps go ( I wouldnt worry at 400 though).
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i have no issues except a little lag issues caused by changing the i/o sched. i reverted back to BFQ & am uploading the kernel now

im usually runngin 120-806/320-806 interactive with a screen off setting of 120-200 conservative and never had a random reboot

are you using a2sd or s2e?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks again, that's what I was thinking. I've found in the past that a min of 400 is even a bit laggy with the stock kernel when using BT streaming and I try to answer an incoming call over the BT, a 480 min results in better response. That experience though has been using On Demand, and I've just changed to Interactive to try and improve that.

I guess I'll give the Custom kernel another try with 400-787 Interactive and see how that goes.

On second thought though, if swap/compcache aren't proving to provide a performance gain and I'm not in need of lower clock speeds, is there anything that this custom kernel brings to the table for me? ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I'm running DT a2sd w/ 1GB ext3 and an unused (no swap at this time) 32MB swap partition, on a 16GB class 10 card. Apps & Dalvik on the ext3.

edit: Because of my frequent use of BT streaming, a lower speed profile for Screen Off doesn't work out very well. I'd need the screen off profile to be conditional on the BT on/off status.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
ive had issues of random reboots with a2sd when ive used it

i just use the standard android apps2sd

so that could be the source of the problem but recent lag was caused by the change in the i/o scheduler and i reverted it back to BFQ

as someone else said this kernel was having lag, especially with the screen on/off animations and so far(since yesterday, all day it was fine) it seems to be fixed

i own no bluetooth accessories so i am unable to test, sorry :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Well, I've never experienced a (unintentional) reboot. The only problem I've seen since going to CM7 back in January, were the 2 hard lockups (phone dead) that I had yesterday, and those required a battery pull.

edit: I'll keep trying various combination's and let you know what I come up with and I'll give the revised kernel a try.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
a lockup like that has happened to me also, once :(. just with my kernel also. Cpu might not like the lower cpu speeds but those are the ones that are in the cpu freq table and i just replaced the higher ones with unused ones from that table
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I don't think my lockups had anything to do with the lower cpu speeds available in the kernel. As I said above, I don't run with my min below 400.

I also don't believe the BT has a direct bearing on the problem, it may be more of a case of BT streaming being one of the few applications that keeps a constant load on the cpu. The cpu stays kinda busy, seldom dropping below 400 and typically toggeling between 400 & 480 with short bursts to the Max setting, probably caused by other background activity.

I also have not seen any indications of excessive cpu temps under these conditions.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jpope:
For me it seems that my Aria just didn't like the 120Mhz setting. I've had it set to 200 - 806 for 24+ hours and haven't had a lockup at all.

Also, I don't think that it is the BT causing the issue as much as the MediaServer. The lockups I've encountered all involved this (Alarm Clock Plus alarm going off, Winamp playing tunes via wired connection). Since bumping up the bottom end, no problems for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
i use s2e. The only reason I dont use the built in a2sd is because i like my widgets etc that I otherwise couldnt use without some form of a2sd, and I have a lot of apps so moving my apps to the sd is a must.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FtaWolf:

I flashed nightly 17 then flashed the newest kernal. It froze when booting up. Should I not have done both right after each other? Like, flash 17, reboot, go into recovery and then flash the kernal.

Sent from my Liberty
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
You did it properly, no need to reboot first. Of course it wouldnt hurt anything if you did though. Maybe something just didnt flash right. Try reflashing the kernel, if that doesnt do it then reflash just the rom and see it boots up. Then try the kernel again. Try to narrow down the culprit.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Reflashed 17 last night and it worked fine. Flashed the kernal just now and its perfect. I'm just going to reboot in between flashing nightlys and kernals.

Using this kernel with jznomoney's rom and I just did a couple of pulls with speedtest app on my work WiFi and I've gotten much higher speeds than before, now this could be something totally related to the network but it looks good for the phone so far. Seemed to have connected fast too.

As for the Smartass governor, it seems to come out of idle a lot smoother than interactive. Will wait to see what impact it has on battery life.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i havent been using any profiles and it seems to scale all the way down when the screen is off :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I have not played around with the profiles yet...will try them sooner or later
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
if you're using smartass there should be no need for profiles anymore :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] bhannemann:
Why does smartass always show the cpu at max speed even when idle? Is it just an issue with reporting or is it really made to stay at max when the device is awake?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
from looking @ info in setcpu it jumps 600-806 alot and sleeps at lower frequecies alot for me it usually stays @ 600 while awake

it all really depends on what is running
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I know I really don't need them with smartass...but one day they will give me something to do when I get bored. My phone is the victim of my boredom more oft than not.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bhannemann:
Ah, I have mine clocked to max at 600, so maybe it will just sit there while awake.
